I wonder how long he's going to last in his new head of comms post.

I think the reason why the EU is softer with Russian's point of view is because we, via the OSCE, co-signed the Minsk Protocols in 2014 then in 2015. Since then, NATO continues to build up its presence in the Black Sea, around Crimea, Ukraine and Moldova. Ukraine started to implement the Minsk...

I think he knows how damaging an economic war with the West will be for Russia. Their economy is relatively small, if the USA imposes economic sanctions, Russia will have to rely nearly 100% on China for their external trade.

apparently, NATO promised Ukraine and Georgia full membership since 2008. In 2019, Ukraine made joining NATO its strategic goal. You can see why Putin has to do something.

Lavrov has a point. That's basic geography and Truss came unprepared.

competition between producers leads usually to lower price, competition between resellers leads to a race to the bottom. Most of those 70 companies are resellers, not generators. The current situation arrives because we don't produce much and rely overly on imports.

I think they are too optimistic. ITER (the one in Cadarache) won't come to full operation until 2050 and the target is to maintain fusion for 7 minutes.

the problem is engineering which progresses much more slowly than other sciences. JET's tokamak suffers from having its magnet overheating, otherwise it can do much better than keeping the plasma stable for only 5 seconds. It took people at the JET project 20 years to go from keeping the plasma...

instead of a windfall tax, I would my suggestion to Labour is to invest in a national energy storage grid. it will increasingly become a key energy provider and the profit could be used to offset spikes in international market prices. Ordinary people can understand this strategy.

customers are encouraged to switch suppliers to escape rip-offs. The consequence of that is a plethora of marketing companies selling themselves as energy providers, short termed investors looking for a quick buck without any industrial capabilities. Nobody wants to look after the storage...

that's the consequence of privatisation of British Gas, National Power and Powergen. We now have the law of the jungle. Our government is so lazy that they subcontract out the tax collecting to private firms, they have no interest in controlling price rise. When France caps the price hike to 4%...

the police knew about Jimmy Savile since 1964. Numerous complaints were logged with different forces but they are not linked together until after his death. Mistakes were mainly with the police, may be they were influenced by his status and people who were his friends.

He couldn't do much about it. The problem with the PPS when they have to decide whether to go ahead with a case is the probability of conviction. In Savile's case, the plaintiffs refused to testify in Court. Would you continue with the case if you were in the shoes of the lawyer who were in...

I really have not a clue. The internet age has introduced so many new words that rubbish old values, like labelling political correctness as wokeism, decency as virtue signalling and you score a point with your home team. Not so long ago, schools insisted on teaching children how to handwrite...

That scene reminds me of Trump's Proud Boys. Unless I am mistaken, the Mail and zlatan posted about Savile weeks before.

if you are in a hole, stop digging! that may work.

so what do you think Labour should do to win votes? Zlatan has already mentioned the problem with general education and attainment among Labour MPs compared to the conservatives.

That reminds me of the 1979 election MT against Callaghan when MT won 44 majority followed by the 1983 MT against Michael Foot when she won by a thumping 144 majority. Labour in 1979 tried to scare voters claiming that the tories will let firms going to the wall. Clearly, most voters would...

I watched Lamy on BBC1 this morning talking about energy price and cost of living. Labour still needs a new economic doctrine. Otherwise, they will keep wearing the old hat of tax and spend.
